It's sort of like restaurant economics in "liberal" neighborhoods. (I tend to put the word liberal in scare-quotes more often than not these days given the number of fake liberals I run into who equate liberalism with a sort of shallow, upscale social libertarianism.)
Have you ever noticed that whenever "liberal" planners and house-hunters redevelop a neighborhood, the restaurants and shops that come in (even the crunchy-granola ones) are always more upscale than what preceded it? And if you ask them they say stuff like a person just said to me when I asked, lighthearted fashion (their store had not opened yet) "so will you have any food that normal people can afford":
Person #1 (obnoxious twentysomething) -- "Oh lord, one of those people." Brushes past me
Person #2 (polite and considerate twentysomething) --"What do you consider normal?"
"Different people are willing to pay different amounts of money for what they consider good food. Our customers are simply willing to pay more. Other people aren't. I'm sure there are other places that cater more to their taste."
See, it's about willingness to do the right thing.
by being willing to pay more for a better product. /)~_~
